The soft strains of the wedding march filled the air as Jennie and Lisa stood at the altar. The guests, unaware of the drama that had unfolded just hours earlier, smiled and whispered among themselves, anticipating the vows to be exchanged.

Jennie took a deep breath, her heart pounding. She glanced at Lisa, who gave her a reassuring smile. Despite the chaos, Lisa's presence was a calming force, grounding Jennie in the moment.

The officiant began, his voice steady and warm. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Jennie and Lisa. Though this day has brought unexpected changes, it is a testament to the strength and resilience of love and friendship."

Jennie felt a surge of emotion. She hadn't expected her wedding day to turn out like this, but in a strange way, it felt right. Lisa had been a constant in her life, a steadfast friend and confidant.

As the officiant continued, Jennie found herself lost in thought. She remembered the countless times Lisa had been there for her, through heartbreaks and celebrations, always with a kind word and a warm smile. She realized now how much she had taken Lisa for granted, how deeply their bond ran.

"Jennie," the officiant said, drawing her back to the present. "Do you take Lisa to be your partner in life, to love, honor, and cherish from this day forward?"

Jennie looked into Lisa's eyes, filled with kindness and determination. "I do."

"And Lisa," the officiant continued, "do you take Jennie to be your partner in life, to love, honor, and cherish from this day forward?"

Lisa's gaze was steady, her voice clear. "I do."

With those simple words, the ceremony continued. Vows were exchanged, rings placed on fingers, and finally, the officiant declared them partners. "You may now kiss."

Jennie hesitated for a moment, then leaned in, her lips meeting Lisa's in a gentle kiss. The guests erupted in applause, the sound a comforting backdrop to the whirlwind of emotions coursing through Jennie.

As they turned to face their friends and family, Jennie felt a sense of relief wash over her. The day hadn't gone as planned, but it had brought her closer to someone who truly understood and cared for her. She squeezed Lisa's hand, grateful for her unwavering support.

The reception that followed was a blur of laughter, tears, and heartfelt toasts. Jennie moved through the crowd, accepting congratulations and well-wishes, all the while feeling Lisa's presence beside her. They danced together, their movements synchronized as if they had practiced for years.

As the night drew to a close, Jennie and Lisa found a quiet corner in the garden. The moonlight cast a soft glow on the flowers, the air filled with the scent of jasmine.

"Thank you, Lisa," Jennie said, her voice filled with gratitude. "I don't know what I would have done without you today."

Lisa smiled, her eyes twinkling in the moonlight. "We're in this together, Jennie. Always."

Jennie felt a warmth spread through her chest. For the first time since Taehyung had walked away, she felt a sense of hope. She didn't know what the future held, but she knew she could face it with Lisa by her side.

They sat together in silence, the night wrapping around them like a comforting blanket. The path ahead was uncertain, but Jennie was ready to embrace it, knowing that sometimes, the most unexpected journeys lead to the most beautiful destinations.
